Paper crafting with a little shine

First blog post

Hello! Thank you for stopping by. My name is Suzanne and I’m a busy wife and mother. My kids have varying special needs and I have a few chronic illnesses. I’m not sure what kind of jackpot we hit there, but well…you play the cards you’re dealt, right?! Because this life is pretty stressful, I needed some sort of creative outlet as a means of escaping things even for a little while. Many moons ago, my sister-in-law introduced me to the wonderful world of scrapbooking. I loved the process of telling my family’s story via scrapbooking — I still do. From there, I ventured into card making and am now trying some mixed media techniques. I still like to do a little bit of everything. I never stopped coloring (children are a great excuse for that) and am really happy about the adult coloring craze! I’m always looking for ways to improve my coloring skills with all kinds of mediums.

I started this blog to try and keep me on track with making more projects and learning new things. There are a lot of great crafting products out there and I’d love to show you some of my favorites. My favorite sources of supplies are Paper Wishes, Unity Stamp Company and Heartfelt Creations. I hope you’ll stop by and see what new things we can create. Thanks for reading, and I hope to post a new project very soon!
